About

In her solo recital performances, Kupiec achieves an especially intimate level of communication with her audiences, a talent that is repeatedly applauded by critics. Her belief in the contact that can be achieved through the art of live performance is inherent in her approach to music-making and is the driving force behind her programme building. Ewa will be performing an all Chopin recital and as a Pole she has an undoubted affinity with this favourite son of Poland.
